"knowings" poems
Embraced again My soul races And is nourished times ten. Filled with sacred knowings - The mind's eye is glowing. Reaching heights Of indigo light. Soft And gracing the skin Gently As i fall within. Flowing amidst I am pieces of the sea. I innerstand the motions Of the winds that we breathe. I see love growing green. Stitching in gold, the fabrics Of our never ending dream. Together is our only way To save our sleeping days. United we can awake. I am forever chasing grace. Blessed again With an exotic luxury. The world And love's potency Is floating me along. I tune in to My favourite song And slowly drift away. Reaching heights Of violet light. Quiet And losing the time Clearly As I fully unwind. Floating admist I am particles of air. Simple stardust being - So transcendent and aware. We are a never ending flow This is the only thing to know. So I bring this all within me. For here's our biggest goal: To Stretch Beyond Our Realm, And Be One Universal Whole. Together is our only way to save our sleeping days. With love we can awake. I am forever embracing grace. ☼ (( miss.....mica. )) ***

Embracing Grace
Court of owls New ink, new shoes Clocks on, I'm about to run it Fast as my pain's Timeframe, bout to gun it I hope you feel something better my man, ***I'm feeling something I'm feeling something better than planned*** Tuck in the winter, dam i fall into action springing past Morty and summer While I'm watching TV slumber shaking off chains of reactions is it a new start call it innov8ing or maybe to our past Definistrating memories,  atoms alternating like the world sputters aspirating Spit split straight portals compensating I'm drunk on Dark matter ever oscillating the wind turned to me just so it could turn on me Judgment for eternity Experience is the same it howled with certainty MY Experience denied 3x so now you hear me? from this judgment I'm always ripping free I don't generate art so you can whip at me I might penetrate stars The universe is an artist so Why does it  ****** us Aint the universe ever even heard of us? I'm the passenger and still woozy the sickness feeling the pressure but I gotta be a witness compassionate, no judgment we all have our reasons ~Got a spot that I  keep w33d in Hidden with the green stem bleedin we may have different heavens but we come from the same soil When others decide our emotions Got so many reasons for defense, reach out and tipped it for the deflect emotions reflect the deficit of me breathe I just shake my head so heavy, I need rest Court of owls Port of vowels I am Born of miles So I adult when you consult the Occult knowings the lotion but still decomposin all this is music I just need to recompose it Saved another life Now the reaper owes it I think I've got amnesia, Waking up to Sir you had a seizure Eyes always look like Man...I wouldn't wanna be ya Empathy is another form of slavery we sign up for We live and we learn Boomerang on the mic I go and return But its not just about living well its about knowing the root of life its Taking the threads in your hands to rack the rains and crack the chains Caught in the dream, my ego forgets Sleep is such a shy death ***Court of owls Port of vowels I am Born of miles in the Korn of howls***

Flowing up to the surface Submerged under the waters.. Chocking gasping for a bit of air.. swollowing.. suffocating.. On Life.. sorrows_hardships.. Just can't even imagine the reasons behind the tragedies... Of what evils lurks in earthly places.. With the ability to rearrange and change peoples faces. After all the hearing and the witnessing. The feelings and the knowings. All the seeing of evils news.... I didnt realize I was chocking emotions deeply bruise. Anxiety snatching the ability to breath where its comfortable.. Breath normally.. Panic sneaks its way in..makes me uncomfortable in my skin. Pulse rushing pulsating. All of a sudden the sheer emotion of losing. Can't see another day lighting the way.. Soul feels the falling when you realize there's so much suffering.. Arms gone limp all passed out..From the exhaustion. This is when God holds yah in His arms. Calming down irregular heart beats. God breaths His air into you. His breath is your air.. as he breath Life back into you. Resuscitate He is the air you breath. Without Him you can't breath there's no air without Him. He pulls you up to this worlds surface.. This worldly ocean called life. Where day by day moments felt like drowning. He gives you inspiration and sets within you a song. Tells you to keep holding on.. Revive.. The ocean is still there but for now..I have been brought up to the surface. hear it on soundcloud copy n paste link below https://soundcloud.com/selinaros3y/atherbest-revive-0-1 S.A.M @h.e.r 2018

I just wish That I knew where we stand But I already know Deep down That we stand nowhere On a shallow island Surrounded by the depths of a Black Sea With no escape My feelings are trapped Deep down Where my knowings are My feelings are chained together With my emotions And my hopes And my fantasies They keep sinking down to the bottom of that black sea, Wherever it's bottom might be

It was in the spring, season of new birth that I first saw you, weeping in a stand of wonder that you had sown. You seemed then as a grass, tall as all the rest yet distinct, caught in a wind, and the scent of blossoms. You danced, and your music wound its way to the sky and brought the birds. As the dawn through a roof of young leaves your coming woke me, and showed me a world of such beauty that I felt alive, in a way I had almost forgotten. You were the dawn, and the breeze in Springtime; you were wild and you were calm, carefree and sorrowful, heartless and compassionate, thoughtless and full of knowings. In my ignorance you were a discord, a tumble of notes that proved beautiful, despite itself. In my ignorance you were a wonder. In my knowledge you are a miracle, far beyond the reasons of your being. You asked if I would remember you, and in my heart I laughed as well as wept. For how could I not? To ask if I would forget you, who had brought such fervor to my life; such joy. It was beyond foolishness. If I weep, forgive me, for I could wish for nothing more than to make you smile; it is this love in my heart that does not permit it. In love I say, I will remember. I will remember. I will remember. In love. Farewell.

Tribute for Kaori
We graced the morning after wandering one way antique streets your pain and comfort found themselves unwrapped from all deceit. All you were and all you are From your head down to your feet called to me through rising dawn stung with personal defeat. And I wished that you would smile, I prayed that you would laugh sans misery or grief, The way you did as we once wandered antique one way streets. And I know you seek redemption. with an eye locked on belief, And you know I love the way you looked When the sunset kissed your cheeks. I was silenced by beauty then, my words were obsolete the poets purpose put away down antique one way streets. I cannot write like Cohen Or Cave, Blake or Swift but all your inner knowings held me in the heat and all I ever wanted is to never feel defeat. But this I'll know, and this I'll want till time starts to retreat. If I could take away your pain as I know you know my grief; I would hold you as I did that day down antique one way streets.

One Way Antique Streets
what poetry is: a cacophony of tangled-up images and slashed-to-the-bone words. a waterfall of bitterness and passion and (words, just words). a jumble of unorthodox punctuation, and spacing, and spelling, a painting with verses of rainbow-colored years. foggy-eyed venting, bitter-mouthed shouting, soft-hearted pleas to the people (hearts and love). not-quite sentences, half-finished ideas, cliches and brutal originalities, shocking in their genuine and raw and profoundly inspired power (things we didn't know we were capable of). cravings and achings and wantings and knowings and (words, just words). so won't you read between the lines? it's all so much simpler than it seems.

simpler (read between the lines)
Tranquility, A abashed day dream, Calamity, A reality of hearts pains. What is it to feel one's way through an abyss of unknowns, where the human and natural world collide in juxtaposition? Is it that the mind can discern the hearts knowings? Or is it the failings of the heart to render the natural rivers flow? Shall we, as mere children, all grown and flawed in our big kid boots, cause one another to wrongfully believe we have grasped the essence of truth through adversity? Through pain full and enveloping of the mind and the soul? Shall we find the rule maker of this maze and thus find the exit to this contrived reality? How is it that the simplest instructions become the foundation of or collective despise and demise? Or was it that we as children found simplicity far too boring and dry in its humor for us to adhere too? And if not, then pray chance did we fail to heed the warnings of self and our wishes laid waste and unanswered upon silly little broken play grounds of our imaginations? So many questions, so many answers found lacking, for our tempered and trusted depressions of self abuse and lazy eyed visions to the core of a shared doom, a doom we all tread lightly in our heavy footed dance to say, we are sorry, as we render excuses and blame to others for our lack of adherence to what can only be understood as what is and what we all have created. For we, are much ado about everything in its nothingness of day dreams, yet we cast such emotions out as the act of a motion to grant forward cleverness in a dull bladed running to find absolution's in one anothers arms, all the while we turn a blind eye and a reddened cheek to ourselves and the you in me and the me in you. SO in such failings of victory we say to our selves and the collective of our hearts content, "it weren't mine" as the **** thing went blind.   Yet in all of this, we children seem to glimpse the hope so dangerous and sweet as to dare to care and realize, we are far from the edge of an oblivion so cruel and lacking, and we can truly grace a simple truth to one another, and that simplicity is called understanding. For without it we are left on that broken play ground screaming "red rover, red rover....." and then where would the blind children of ol' Betty be then my dear friends? gone far more than just wild.

your thought for love
Soon my wishes will be verses, earthworms unraveling a silk string that wraps us in the world. Ravishing, I'm raving madly, going crazy, coming, and coming undone. Your physical frame matched with your intellectual marvel drives me totally insane, dumbfounded and looking for all of my marbles. I'd sail a thousand ships to afford even just a glance, you're the oeuvre to all my movements, conducting the symphony of all we have. I've written a myriad of many books: essay, narrative, prose, and poem. That merely begin to document the excitingness interspersed within our knowings. This mirthy bliss of ours is an overture to our youth, it's this astute aloofness inside these hours fervidly wrapped in a cocoon of me and you. I'm not coming across, the way that I initially intended to. The truth is I'm clueless on how to take something too awesome for words, and then attempt to put sentences into them. Like those pictures of you I sometimes take when you fall asleep before me. That has been a fantastic example to myself of just a miniature way I adore thee. Scotch, IPAs, and hoppy drinks splattering laughter through the room, now how can I find one of 200,000 words that could even give justice to it. So whether or not it's romantic, I don't do it for any other reason, except that describing you and I in words is an inadequacy I'm not pleased with. When lips comfort necks, and hair comforts chests. Sleeping nestled like Bell your head nuzzled at my breast. If I could only say, how incredibeautifulamazing it's been- not last month, last year, or yesterday, but every increment between us without discriminating any piece. Then perhaps I'm getting .0001% closer to being able to describe how amazing we make each other feel.

dug up my own bones, what a shock, from the soil. found myself amidst the roots and stones, tangled up, not an act of fiction or faith. just position. and, so, turned to the wrought ligaments of my jaw, i asked "why were we buried so shallow?". but, bones don't speak. history is nameless and without sight. we stand on the precipice of a crumbling tower, and, down in the cellar, ferment languages unspoken. hands in pockets, well, i wandered down, expressionless, steps ringing hollow on the uncatalogued leaves of stairs, and drank deep of tongues untouched. and such are all knowings. and god knows i learnt next to nothing, but that the sun always rose. that lovers spurned each twilight, waiting. and for all of the square meters grown up in glades everlasting, for all the soil tilled and grass come back brighter, my shoes were all the muddier, my eyes were full of eternal shine, my ****** heart was healin'. the sky was only blue.

Without an authority, you are your own authority. But yet what do you perceive? Right and wrong? Truth and false?  So can you observe within yourself? Did you observe anything before ever observing what is inside of yourself, or was it afterwards? what floats inside of you is only what floats outside of you: is this not how you come to being? Are you truly finding yourself? Or what are you finding about yourself? (Your opinion is only a reflection of the exterior from yourself; But that is beyond the point.) If there truly is not an authority, and if you are the authority; how can anything exist from you alone? know that what you perceive isn’t from you. It is only within your consciousness. Truly you only know that you exist because of what exists outside of your existence; although you are not proven to exist without the absence of your existence. Whatever you trust in isn’t from you; and only faith can be what you believe in. So whatever you put your faith in it can only be of your own knowings, but you cannot have faith in yourself alone.

Knowings
Timeless caresses etched in my soul beatific panoramas all of a whole music notes carved in clouds angel fountains way up high soul schools to learn from between slices of time No need to really talk its all done silently crystal buildings, halls of light all is done mystically planning trips to Earth to learn lessons slow purpose of the universe for our souls to grow It may take many trips to get it just right to finally be what we are all our knowings, our birthright so narry a tear when things are a painful song its just another step the road slow and long we will reach our destiny where we started from knowing pur love and joy our reward when we are done

The Other Side
Which is my church with its green leaves, brown grass and pine’s bark, all foresting in one motion. I shall forest rituals of sacrifice, but without Catholicizing faces drawn from dark Crusading and my exiling. Annaling to mark the sun’s solstice for Eastering and holying days, the dew coalescing upon the darkening and browning grass at midnight and cooling air arching constellations and the mooning of the night: the cue to lying for rest by the small pool in this placing or to strike, savaging at prey. Owling as it does, darting as it does, from a bed of branches, crying, soundlessly shooting at a forest mouse, leaves rustling for this night’s Nativity, this one lifts its butterflying wings like the soul’s silhouette taken by an angeling force to heaven. After owling, angeling, butterflying, one must create Jesus as a verb. Having witnessing these things, limits are paining, as are knowings and doings. The mouse must have been distracting this owl from its offspring, thus it was Christing: sacrificing itself for its children, thus fathering. Seeing angels fluttering under the moonlight, Hairshirting is my Church after living here, after travelling through East of Eden in daylight. Simplifying the Word---so heartwrenching---near dawn or dusk, being as a penumbra’s cusp I am Giotto’s halo in human form, keeper of the haze, smoke, storm, and most of all, cup from my own despairing. Always there more to God than pain. Churching myself is my work, thus by expressing this foresting, owling, angeling, butterflying, I narrate my life’s kingdom. Only beautiful words for my Beatrice, Florence, and re-Edening.

floating smoke in the summer air drifting along then dissipates. the pounding in a head, vessels pulsing and constant movement. fingers dancing across a keyboard, to incorporate a checklist of knowings and to-be-knowns - the insecurities of new scenery mile marker after mile marker and you’re happy, but irresolute. someone tripped over the cord again, yanked it out and dragged it away a moment, and a guarantee let’s look and see, to be sure there’s something more than a simple crank of a machine, grown rusted and unmanageable over years I’m tracing back, looking for something I think I missed it. these fingers that hold my wrist and suggest “please, let me assist” you know what’s best.

(my answer to her "Scar") ~ drawn to her and here by mutual friend, a not-so-neutral standerby, i am undone by reading her entreating, questions haunting... why? i too will never understand how scars can heal how love divides. the hurting, haunting ever daunting rage and hate inside, it turns me to an ever wanting knowledge... why? the answer comes in whispered winds, in knowings deep within. this mortal plain does not remain; this clock will one day stop; this heart will beat this side no more; these feet will draw unto this chest, when fleeting moments, thought-filled words, my last i love you's whispered from my breast. and then the realness, truest journey starts where all i take is what i've made and carry there within this heart. a redefining mission. as i introspective, listen, to my Creator whispering, *"welcome to my new beginning! you, i've waited long to hold; 'well done' on earth is not the end, for she was just the womb. this place, your home, now birthed anew; the journey now embarks. i'm thrilled you packed so carefully, the treasures carried in your heart."* ~ *post script. more could be said, but why? for we know the answer if we listen to the whisperings within. SPT, a gifted artist... mostly because she asks such beautiful, soul-searching questions!* http://hellopoetry.com/poem/1449901/scar/

Why?
tree once was i tall straight and true. growing reaching grasping for the blue patch of sky. felled by men, all called Jack. taken, stripped, naked and beaten till no bark left on my back. slashed at torn shredded, beaten to a pulp. no way back, to fresh air and blue sky. flattened to skin's width, stretched, rolled and dryed. thirst, a memory of blue and pearled sky. blank without leaf or seed barren and denied. tattooed with wisdom deep and scribblings inane. cut into pages, windows for enquiring brains. words, that penned by poets speak of forests mighty, of oaks and acorns, growing. places of intimate knowings. tattooed, on my flesh, stolen, rearranged. reminiscent of recalling, times of grace and falling. book now i be. but, rather, tree standing tall and growing.

Just as thoughts can eject the mind And propel the mouth. That takes the feelings out of your heart Where the roads come to a T Your sure to meet. Your fate. That drops its life at your feet And you hearts blisters Will turn to scars And you'll walk away From the steamy room. With the least of the knowings. Because you are a fool. Heads hate the hearts Every box breaks your heart. Even more. Shattering. Until the scars hurt much worse than the blisters.

You hurt me Much like humans cause hurt to the planet Earth Humans don't mean to pollute Humans don't mean to destroy We just do It's our human nature You hurt me But I don't think you intentionally do so You don't understand How I feel. I don't understand How I feel Which is why this hurts I just wish That I knew where we stood But I already know deep down That we stand nowhere On an island Surrounded by black seas With no escape My feelings are trapped Deep down Where my knowings are My feelings are chained together With my emotions And my hopes And my fantasies They keep sinking down to the bottom of that black sea, Wherever its bottom might be

Anchors
why think so lowly of me these flickering heart arching back if only you know but what the use of your knowings why think so lowly of me it's not me i am not flicking the flame how could i but what the use of these confessions why think so lowly of me those shattered imperfect dreams gazing eyes if only you know but what the use of my explanations you will still think so lowly of me

MOTECUHZOMA Our priests have proven green and tenderfoot By goggling at our late, ill auguries: Dumbfounded, counselless, they scan their toes. For this have I agreed to pawn my pride In dabbling with questionable cures By calling forth the aid of sorcerers. PRIEST OF TLALOC Dread lord, how might your grace with confidence Place mercenary warlocks in your trust, Who twist their gifts toward late-night banditry, It’s said, to paralyze their shaky preys. Tezcatlipoca, our capricious master, Might cloud our muddy minds yet murkier For slumping to such dubious helps as these If they make mock of his peculiar knowings. TLACAELEL Don’t worry. If they cool your fevered fears We’ll hail their hocus-pocus as white physic. If not, then as black fiends in iron they’ll rot. MOTECUHZOMA Bring in these esoteric ministers. A guard leads in three Sorcerers You three obscure and dicing conjurers: Have you beheld grim omens in the clouds, Or prodigies upon the earth? You three, Who fathom ‘neath earth’s black and gem-jammed caverns To skim atop cold pools of stone-blind fish And witness those who have not winked at day; Who sink into the water’s murky deeps, And loiter drowsily among the weeds, Mustering fronds and nightshades for your charms. PRIEST OF TLALOC Have you encountered stray and mongreled men? Or lightless nooks congeal as dead men’s shades? Or midnight women, crablike, creep in broods? Shall we be leveled flat by strange disease, Or locusts, pirating their greedy shares? From sudden deaths, from wars or wild beasts? Shall rainstorms sink our rooftops down to jetties, And Tlaloc drown us in a tide of bounty, Or broil us in cruel sabbatical? MOTECUHZOMA You must not candy up **** truth for me. Have you not heard our thirsting goddess cry, And nightly croaking from the earth’s deep faults?

These three daggers that lay before me Their handles aimed towards my head Tell each a different story of their belonging The first is one that has been well maintained At it’s slender touch, it could spill my blood The steel is fresh and it has been cared for greatly The second is blunt at it’s edge And holds less of a threat than the first It’s silver swipe has faded over time And is now a ***** grey The last is the worst of the three Only the handle lays before me A relic of former knowings The blade has left, perhaps for someone Whose care will exceed the previous owner
